A Famous Dinner Dainty.

In blissful ignorance that the peacock
was esteemed q famous dinner dainty by
epicures before Paris itself was famous.
q correspondent in Paris writes thus:
The most novel feature Of the enter
tainment was the appearance OF roast
ed peacock, decked In all Its feathers, q
beautiful and decorative object to
look at as well as very delicious bird
to eat. The introduction of the peacock
as the course OF game at grand dinner
parties 10 the newest feature Of the sea-
son, and one can only wonder why q
fowl Of such delicate flesh, as we'll as Of
such superb plumage, shonld have been
so long neglected by gOurmands. New

PORTLAND, Me-, Oct. 19.--South Port land, just across the harbor, is all agog over bit of romance. For months Louisiana State Lottery tickets have been extensively dealt out here, and a few persons have had windfalls of fortune. A young man named Cole and his be- trothed, Miss Jackson, in somewhat poor circumstances, concluded to try their luck, and each paid fifty cents for one tenth of whole ticket. At the October drawing they found, by reading the schedule of winning tickets, that theirs had drawn S5,0O0. It is understood that their wedding cards are now in the hanls of the printer. .-NeA York Sun, Got. 20

FREE TRADE,

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines no doubt has large
ly benefited the consumers, as well as re-
lieving the burden of home manufac-
turers. Especially is this the case with
Green's August Flower and Boschee's Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty
six cents per dozen has been added to in
crease the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine in the IS cent size. The
August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, and the German Syrup for
Cough and Lung troubles, have, perhaps,
the largest sales of any medicines in the
world. The advantage of increased size
of the bottles will be greatly appreciated
by the sick and afflicted, IN every town
and village in civilized countcies. Sample
bottles tor 10 cents remain the same size.

FOR GOOD PURPOSES.

Mrs. M. A. Dauphin, of Philadelphia, is
we'll known to the ladies of that city from
the great good she has done by means of
Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com pound.
She writes Mrs. Pinkham of recent in
teresting case. IA young married lady
came to me suffering with severe case of
prolapsus and liberation. She COM
menced taking the Compound, and in two
months was fully restored. In proof of
this she soon found herself in an interest
ing condition. Influenced by foolish
friends. she attempted to evade the re-
sponsibllities of maturity. After ten or
twelve days she came to me again and she
was indeed in most alarming state and
suffered terribly. I gave her a table
spoonful of the compound every hour for
eight hours until she fell asleep. She
awoke much relieved, and evidently bet
ter. She continued taking the Compound,
and in due season she became the mother
OF fine, healthy boy. But for the timely
use of the medicine she believes her life
would have been lost"

GOSSIP,

The Willis case will come up in the
senate to morrow. There has been an i'm
plicatlon that the clerk of the committee,
Mr.. Israel, has purposely held back some
of the testimony, but when it is considered
how volumnious this testimony is, and how
much work is to be done, it will be readily
seen why there is semblance of holding
back testimony.
AS will be seen from the senate proceed
ing yesterday, the Moore educational bill
passed that body with several important
amendments proposed By Hon. Geo. w.
Glasscock, the able and indefatigable SEN
ator from this district, who has been very
active in the promotion of that and other
important measures this session. Senator
Glasscock's experience in public affairs,
coupled with his wise conservatism, rem
ders him one of the most serviceable mem
bers of the legislature. So fer he has
made a splendid record, which his cons5it-
uency cannot fail to commend.
